Chapter 1836: Chapter 1633: Ambitions of the Four-dimensional World (Part 2)
But from the perspective of the four-dimensional world, this is another story.
The three-dimensional world cannot understand the four-dimensional world at all, but conversely, the four-dimensional world can see through the three-dimensional world clearly.
This is like how humans can clearly see the entirety of two-dimensional paper people, while the paper people can’t see humans and completely can’t understand what the three-dimensional world is.
Higher dimensions can clearly see through lower dimensions, while lower dimensions cannot understand higher dimensions at all, nor can they even imagine what higher dimensions look like; this is the iron rule between dimensions.
The moment they first made contact with the three-dimensional world, the four-dimensional world completely saw through all the information of the entire three-dimensional world.
Upon seeing through it, they were very delighted.
For a high-dimensional world, a low-dimensional world is the purest nourishment, which can be completely absorbed and assimilated.
Whether it’s fragmented into pieces and absorbed separately, or swallowed whole, they can reap enormous benefits!
Moreover, the four-dimensional world is completely indifferent to the life and death of creatures in the three-dimensional world, just as humans don’t care about the life and death of two-dimensional paper people.
So, as soon as the contact was made, the plan to absorb and devour the entire three-dimensional world began.
...
However, after the plan began, the beings of the four-dimensional world immediately discovered a problem—the three-dimensional world is very large, much larger than anticipated!
Given the scale of this three-dimensional world, to gobble it up in one go is indeed not easy, merely preparing for it would take an immense amount of time.
If calculated in Blue Star’s time, it would take about one to two hundred million years for the preparatory work to be initially completed.
This discovery shocked the four-dimensional world, but also made them even more delighted.
The larger the three-dimensional world, the more gain they will receive!
It’s like the Blue Star People striking an oil field, the more oil there is, the more joyous they are; what’s the reason for disliking an oil field for being too large and difficult to extract?
Thus, the entire four-dimensional world immediately began to prepare intensively to devour this huge chunk of meat.
They didn’t intend to have any contact with the creatures of the three-dimensional world, just preparing silently, and after one to two hundred million years when the preparation was completed, they would strike and swallow the entire three-dimensional world in one sweep.
No contact was entirely out of safety considerations.
Just like in the novel "Three-Body", if the three-body world doesn’t have any contact with Earth humans, only dispatching Intelligent Particles to seal off technology, Earth humans would have no chance of turning the tables. However, once contact is made, uncertainties arise.
Therefore, the four-dimensional creatures did not plan to have any contact with the three-dimensional creatures.
Moreover, they were not worried that the three-dimensional world would have any resistance.
High dimensions attacking low dimensions is a genuine dimension reduction strike, in their cognition, the creatures in the three-dimensional world have no possibility of resistance.
In short, they just need to make room and gobble up this "feast," without worrying about anything else.
...
However, amidst the liveliness in the four-dimensional space, two unexpected events occurred.
The first unexpected event was the invention of the ’Dimension Elevator,’ the creatures of the three-dimensional world managed to use this to enter the four-dimensional world!
At that time, this event shocked the entire four-dimensional world.
They could hardly imagine how the creatures of the three-dimensional world could invent such a thing. After all, dimension reduction is simple, but dimension ascension is far from easy!
This is like asking a two-dimensional paper person how to have a three-dimensional solid form; in the three-dimensional world, this is manageable, but in the two-dimensional world, it seems unimaginable!
Ascending from three dimensions to four is the same, although one can use the time dimension for four-dimensionalization, but it’s extremely difficult!
The creatures of the three-dimensional world made a large-scale entry thanks to the invention of the ’Dimension Elevator,’ causing quite a stir in the four-dimensional world.
However, fortunately, the creatures dispatched from the three-dimensional world were not many, and relying on the capabilities of the four-dimensional world, they quickly annihilated them.
But this event also sounded an alarm for the four-dimensional world—they can no longer completely refrain from intervening in the three-dimensional world, they must intervene immediately!
Originally, they intended to have no communication with the three-dimensional world, and strike out when the preparation was completed in one to two hundred million years.
But now, that’s no longer feasible.
If the creatures of the three-dimensional world continue to use the ’Dimension Elevator,’ more and more creatures from the three-dimensional world would intrude, creating more and more trouble!
Thus, the four-dimensional world understood that they had to take action.
So, just over 40 years ago, the four-dimensional world launched the first wave of attack!
This wave of attack directly destroyed the hymn and completely wiped out the core area of the Holy Silver Federation.
The plan of the four-dimensional world was—once any star system uses the ’Dimension Elevator,’ they would strike decisively and severely, until the creatures of the three-dimensional world dare not use the ’Dimension Elevator’ anymore.
Originally, the plan was like this, with one wave of attack being sufficient. After the core area of the Holy Silver Federation was occupied, the four-dimensional world didn’t think about continuing the attack.
Yet, at this moment, the second unexpected event occurred!
